I am working four days a week...How's THAT for an excuse to not blog? I did get up at five this morning to draw. I decorate cakes all day at work, so for three weeks (that's how long I have worked this job) I have been TIRED. My body is finally getting past the aches and pains of being on my feet for 8 hours...so I am FINALLY getting into a routine which includes ART.
I made this card when I enjoyed an afternoon of stamping with two of my new friends here. These two women are AMAZING. They are both legally blind (not blonde...) and have to use special machines to see what they are doing. Their dedication and persistance put me to shame.
The paper background is by Reminisce. The other side of the paper is the same pattern in red. I LOVE black. I use it on almost all my cards, except for the vintage ones. I prefer to use a dark purple...almost black on those, so the image isn't as harsh.
George and I are getting settled in. He dug up the whole front yard and bagged it. SO MUCH red mulch. I prefer dark mulch. We also need to replace a whole lot of plants. Tropical plants are a whole new thing for us. We love them, we just need an education in them!
For this card, I also embossed the brads with green and yellow. The stamps are from my Old English set for H&M Stamps.
Well...off to work. It's MY Friday!

Hey Bev ... this is awesome!!! I really miss you!! YOu have become so busy, I don't get to see much of you here! That's okay ... life happens and you are doing what you need to do.
Your stamp designs are adorable. I purchased your "old fashioned hayride" set and made two cards for Heather Rolin's blog color/sketch challenge. What fun!! Keep up the good work and please don't work too hard!! All work and no play makes Bev a very dull girl!! LOL!!
Beautiful card Bev!! Your friends sound amazing! And I'm so envious that you are decorating cakes for your job! Even though I myself would be TIRED if I were on my feet for 8 hours a day!! (Wait a minute...I kind of am now with the little ones! LOL!)...except I get most necessary "nap breaks"!!!
Wowie Bev. This is just so beautiful! Great use of colors and your image is absolutely wonderful, and even more fun to work with!!!
Hi Bev - I am so glad to see you are settling in. Love the cards! and your new creations! We really do miss you at Club 101. We are having a lot of fun especially b/c it's fall in the Adirondacks.
